剑九阅读真题William Henry Perkin做题分析
一篇雅思文章拿下来，我们可以先看文章，再看题目，也可以先看题目再看文章，这两种做题的顺序都各有利弊，孰好孰坏取决于每个人看文章做题的习惯。今天，我们借助一篇剑九阅读真题William Henry Perkin,向大家讲解一种新的做题方式——做题看文章交叉进行。一边做题一边看文章，做题看文章交叉进行，乍听之下也许大家会觉得很容易造成阅读混乱，但其实不然，这种做题方式不但省时省事，而且准确率也高。接下来我们一起来看看做题看文章交叉进行这种方法是如何运用在具体的文章中的。
在雅思阅读真题Test 1的reading passage 1 William Henry Perkin，运用做题看文章交叉进行，我们可以很快地把题目做出来，而且无需反复回原文查看。
好吧，我们一起开始做题，记住，且行且思，且看题目且看文章，且思考。
1 Michael Faraday was the first person to recognize Perkin’s ability as a student of chemistry.
第一道题目讲的是Michael Faraday是第一个赏识Perkin作为一个化学学生所具有的才能，我
们猜测考点可能是the first person化理，立即阅读文章William Henry Perkin：The man who invented synthetic dyes。文章第一段我的人生路William Henry Perkin was born on March 12, 1838, in London, England. As a boy, Perkin’s curiosity prompted early interests in the arts, sciences, photography, and engineering. But it was a chance stumbling upon a run-down, yet functional, laboratory in his late grandfather’s home that solidified the young man’s enthusiasm for chemistry.大致讲了Perkin的幼年，没找到答案，继续看第二段As a student at the City of London School, Perkin became immerd in the study of chemistry. His talent and devotion to the subject were perceived by his teacher, Thomas Hall, who encouraged him to attend a ries of lectures given by the eminent scientist Michael Faraday at the Royal Institution. Tho speeches fired the young chemist’s enthusiasm further, and he later went on to attend the Royal College of Chemistry, which he succeeded in entering in 1853, at the age of 15.我们找到His talent and devotion to the subject were perceived by his teacher, Thomas Hall。Thomas Hall鼓励他参加了一系列皇家学院知名科学家Michael Faraday所做的讲座。由此我们知道Michael Faraday不是第一个赏识Perkin的人，在他之前还有Thomas Hall，题目到此我们可以判断为FALSE。
桃源人2 Michael Faraday suggested Perkin should enrol in the Royal College of Chemistry.
第二道题目讲的是Michael Faraday枕头多高合适图解建议Perkin入学皇家化学学院。我们在做第一道题目时已经读到梁壁to attend a ries of lectures given by the eminent scientist Michael Faraday at the Royal Institution. Tho speeches fired the young chemist’s enthusiasm further, and he later went on to attend the Royal College of Chemistry, which he succeeded in entering in 1853, at the age of 15.我们并没有从这段文章看到有关Michael Faraday建议Perkin入学皇家化学学院的信息，初步判断是NOT GIVEN，当文章看到最后我们也确实没看到任何相关信息。
3 Perkin employed August Wilhelm Hofmann as his assistant.
第三道题讲的是Perkin雇佣August Wilhelm Hofmann作为他的助手。我们继续阅读文章At the time of Perkin’s enrolment, the Royal College of Chemistry was headed by the noted German chemist August Wilhelm Hofmann. Perkin’s scientific gifts soon caught Hofmann’s attention and, within two years, he became Hofmann’s youngest assistant.文
中讲到Perkin的科学天分很快引起了Hofmann的注意，不到两年后，他成了Hofmann最年轻的助手。谁是谁的助手，分清人物关系我们很快就知道答案是FALSE。
4 Perkin was still young when he made the discovery that made him rich and famous.
第四道题目讲的是当柬埔寨说什么语言Perkin的发现使得他名利双收的时候他仍然很年轻。我们继续阅读Not long after that, Perkin made the scientific breakthrough that would bring him both fame and fortune. 那之后没多久，Perkin就做出了科学上的突破，而这一突破将会使他名利双收。Perkin这时候确实仍然很年轻。答案出来了，TRUE。
5The trees from which quinine is derived grow only in South America.
第五道题目讲的是提取出quinine的树仅生长在南美洲（quinine是奎宁，我们就算不知道quinine是什么，但至少知道是从树提取出来的一种东西）我们阅读文章At the time, quinine was the only viable medical treatment for malaria. The drug is derived from the bark of the cinchona tree, native to South America, and by 1856 demand for the drug was
surpassing the available supply. Thus, when Hofmann made some passing comments about the desirability of a synthetic substitute for quinine, it was unsurprising that his star pupil was moved to take up the challenge.知道The drug is derived from the bark of the cinchona tree, native to South America, 这种药取自原产南美洲的金鸡纳树的树皮，是不是仅仅生长在南美洲文章也没有明确给出，初步判断是NOT GIVEN，看到文章后面也没有看到相关信息。
6 Perkin hoped to manufacture a drug from a coal tar waste product.
第六道题讲的是Perkin希望从煤焦油废料产物中制造出药品。我们继续看文章During his vacation in 1856, Perkin spent his time in the laboratory on the top floor of his family’s hou. He was attempting to manufacture quinine from aniline, an inexpensive and readily available coal tar waste product.知道He was attempting to manufacture quinine from aniline, an inexpensive and readily available coal tar waste product.文中讲的是他在尝试从苯胺中生产奎宁，这是一种便宜而好找的煤焦油废料产物。题目与文章说法相对应，所以是TRUE。
欣慰的近义词7 Perkin was inspired by the discoveries of the famous scientist Louis Pasteur.
第七道题目讲的是Perkin被著名的科学家Louis Pasteur的发现所鼓舞。我们继续看文章Despite his best efforts, however, he did not end up with quinine. Instead, he produced a mysterious dark sludge. Luckily, Perkin’s scientific training and nature prompted him to investigate the substance further. Incorporating potassium dichromate and alcohol into the aniline at various stages of the experimental process, he finally produced a deep purple solution. And, providing the truth of the famous scientist Louis Pasteur’s words ‘chance favors only the prepared mind’, Perkin saw the potential of his unexpected find.文中讲的是事态的发展完全验证了著名科学家路易巴斯德的名言汉字字根“机遇只偏爱那些有准备的头脑”，Perkin看到了自己这不期而至之发现的潜在价值。 文章中没有提到Louis Pasteur的发现，只提到他的名言，所以是NOT GIVEN。
8 Before Perkin’s discovery, with what group in society was the colour purple associated?
第八道题讲的是在Perkin的发现之前，紫色是那种社会群体使用的。我们继续阅读文章Hist
orically, textile dyes were made from such natural sources as plants and animal excretions. Some of the, such as the glandular mucus of snails, were difficult to obtain and outrageously expensive. Indeed, the purple color extracted from a snail was once so costly that in society at the time only the rich could afford it. Further, natural dyes tended to me muddy in hue and fade quickly. It was against this backdrop that Perkin’s discovery was made.文章中的句子Indeed, the purple color extracted from a snail was once so costly that in society at the time only the rich could afford it.讲到实际上，从一种蜗牛身上提取而来的紫色曾经一度昂贵到在当时的社会上，只有富人才买得起，所以答案是The rich。
9 What potential did Perkin immediately understand that his new dye had?
